    Description

    Serve your community from your home with The Birthday Giving Program - Volunteer from Anywhere!

    Opening a birthday giving chapter is easy, fun, and a great way to give back to the community! Here's how it works:

    1. We schedule a video call with you to explain how the process works. You select a division you would like to serve: children, adults, senior citizens, or veterans.

    2. We connect you with a nonprofit organization (homeless shelter, food pantry, nursing home, Boys and Girls Club, etc.) that is geographically close to where you live.

    3. We explain The Birthday Giving Program's mission. This organization should be able to pick up the birthday bags from your house.

    4. You order the birthday bag supplies off of Amazon or another online store and have the gifts shipped to your house. Each birthday bag costs between $5 and $10, depending on how many gifts you decide to put in the bag. Your goal is to provide 5-10 birthday bags to the organization each month.

    5. Once you have packed the birthday bags, you contact the organization and they pick up the birthday bags from your house! You can also drop off the birthday bags and/or host birthday parties at the organization if you'd like.
